Changing location of log files in a Clustered Virtual Server

I set up a Clustered Virtual Server using Windows 2003 Enterprise SP! and
SQL2000 Enterprise SP2. When setting SQL it gave me the option to choose the
location of the data, now that the virtual server is functional I want to
change the location of the log files to a different resource of the cluster
(different drive) but it is not letting me do so. Hoe do you change locations
of your drives in a clustered environment?
Any ideas?
Same as in a non-clustered environment.
I would guess that the step you are missing is to make the SQL Service
dependent on the new clustered disk resource. Clustered SQL will only allow
you to write data files to disks that are in the same resource group AND
that SQL is dependent on.

It is probably because the drive in question has not been added as a
resource to the sql server cluster in cluster manager.
