Provided are a computer product, method, and system to generate a virtual subsystem to process read and write requests to storage devices. A virtual subsystem is configured in the memory to provide a representation of a subsystem presented to at least one host system. The at least one host system is to communicate with the virtual subsystem to access the at least one storage device. At least one virtual namespace is configured in the memory for the virtual subsystem. Each of the at least one virtual namespace maps to at least one physical namespace in at least one storage device. Each virtual namespace is assigned to one host system to use to direct read and write requests to the at least one physical namespace of the at least one storage device assigned to the virtual namespace.
