Abstract
A method, system and program is described for providing virtual storage domains for content addressable system. At least one tenant data storage policy is configured for at least one tenant in a storage system. A virtual storage domain is created based on the tenant data storage policy, each virtual storage domain having a unique identifier (ID). The corresponding virtual storage domain ID is tagged to a data request based on a data set policy when data belonging to a data set gets written to the storage system. A hash signature is calculated for the data taking the data content and the storage domain ID as inputs to calculate the hash signature.
