convert single instance on server A to rac on server B,C

I have 11.2.0.1 database on single instance on server A. All files are in Cluster file system.
I have to convert this to a RAC database on Server B and Server C.
I'm planning to install 11.2.0.1 Grid Infrastructure and 11.2.0.1 RAC on server B and server C.
Then shut down the database on Server A. Take backup. Mount the filesystems containing all files from server A to server B, C.

Question is : Can i startup the database (single instance) using new 11.2.0.1 RAC binaries ? and then just follow procedures to add an instance ?

Or should i install another non-rac 11.2.0.1 binaries on the cluster server ? Use that to start the database and then switch to RAC binaries ?

Howdy, Stranger!
