This CRS-2800 error is related to the database resource is in INTERMEDIATE state with Restricted Access.

Get the database resource out of “INTERMEDIATE” state, in this case, disable restricted access:
1)Disable the restricted session on all the DB instances:
SQL> alter system disable restricted session;
2)Start the service
$ srvctl start service -s <service> -d <database>
3)Check the service status
$ srvctl status service -s <service> -d <database> Service <service> is running on instance(s) <instance1>,<instance2>
