Using the Management Console goto Server Configuration > Mailbox
Right-click on First Storage Group and select Move Storage Group Path
This will move the log files and update the system path.
Right-click on Mailbox Database and choose Move Database Path
This will move the database files.
Perform the same steps for the Second Storage Group and the Public Folder Database.

Could I remove it online?

Hello,
Nope. You can’t do online move. Users may have poor experience during database moving process. Online move mailbox feature is mart of the exchange 2010.

Hi,
I have a similar problem. On my exchange server, I added a second raid array, (1TB) created a second DB on the new drive and moved a handful of my heaviest mail users to this new DB. After moving them, I noticed that the available disc space on the
original disc dropped an amount equal to the size of the mail boxes moved. I would like to move the entire storage group to the new disc but, I am concerned about moving it after already creating the new DB on this drive.
Will I have any issues?

Do you have to dismount the databases first before moving?

DO NOT do the above steps if you're doing any type of continuous replication. What Jeff said works fine in non-HA environments. In HA environments you need to use different steps to not mess up replication.
Refer to the following if you need to move these in HA environments:

Yes , it is very easy in exchange 2007 as its database support portability feature.Just copy and paste the database with all logs But be assure database should be in clean state because after moving it from original location it would be converted in dirty
state, so use eseutil parameter and make it clean shutdown and again attach it . I have done it in testing environment with 80 gb database. it is still working fine.
Thanks
