RAc issues||CRS-4535: Cannot communicate with Cluster Ready Services

Here is the steps that I followed to clear the priority tickets.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

connected to ASM instance on the 1st node via
sqlpls / as sysasm
o checked status of the diskgroups using
select name,state from v$asm_diskgroup;
all showed "DISMOUNTED"
o then issued
alter diskgroup OCRVD mount;
alter diskgroup DATBA mount;
alter diskgroup FRA mount;
all of which succeeded.
o next issued
crsctl start res ora.crsd -init
which started the CRS daemon
o checked CRS resources using
crsctl stat res -t
which showed that database resources are being started
o repeated the same on the 2nd node which succeeded
o databases now up & running again on both nodes
