How to move MTADATA folder on a multi-node Exchange 2003 Cluster   

Hi,

How do you move properly the MTADATA folder on a MS Exchange 2003 cluster.
On a Multi-node cluster, we are changing san, and on one of the EVS ( the 
first one installed ), we have the MTADATA folder.

We need to move everything out of the current Disk resource into a new disk 
resource, we already know how to move the Stores, SMTP, and MS Search ( by 
deleting SA resource, changing in ADSI the value for msExchDataPath, to 
point to the new partition/path )...
We have done this on all the other EVS nodes without a problem, but the last 
node ( was the 1st node installed ), has MTADATA on it as well... Found 
couple articles for this, but they are all about moving MTADATA in a non 
cluster environment, can't find anything for a cluster environment.

Thanks for any help you can provide...
