The following are the steps.
1)Alter tablespace <tablespace name > offline;
2)copy or move the datafiles at OS level like
mv <source file location> <destination file location>
3)alter database rename file <source location> to <destination location>
4)Alter tablespace <tablespace name > online;
Now the datafile will be available at new location.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks
