Hopefully this is an easy question for someone on the forums.

Currently, I have a bunch of databases with their transaction logs on the same physical disks as the databases (RAID 10). I now have a separate set of physical disks that I would like to move the transaction logs to. How do I go about moving the logs to the separate disks with minimal downtime?

Thanks in advance.

sp_detach_db/sp_attach_db will be the fastest. You'll just need to detach them, copy the tlogs to the new drive, then attach them using the new path.
