The SS1 performs copying between the second storage device and third storage device and, in this process, sends a command for access generated in the third storage device to the virtual storage device. When receiving the Access Command corresponding to the virtual storage device, the SS2 accesses the storage space.

Abstract: The present invention aims to protect data by using WORM (Write Once Read Many) features. On receiving an instruction to write data to a virtual tape, from a host computer 2 via an FC interface 11, a VTL controller 10 reads out WORM information and access information each corresponding to the virtual tape for which the instruction was made, from a tape management table 231 and a WORM management table 232, respectively. If the WORM setting is not made for the WORM information that was read out, or if the access information indicates writing data is allowed, then an instruction is given to a disc device 30 to write data to a magnetic disc that corresponds to the virtual tape for which the write instruction was made.

It is characterized in that it comprises an oxide support composed of an oxide containing Co and Zr, and a noble metal catalyst selected from the group consisting of Ru, Pt, Rh and Pd, and loaded on the oxide support, and it can remove carbon monoxide by means of carbon monoxide methanation reaction. A carbon monoxide removing catalyst of the present invention is such that such an effect is available that the catalytic activity with respect to carbon monoxide methanation reaction is higher when being low temperatures, compared with carbon monoxide removing catalysts which use oxides of Zr—Fe, Zr—Mn, and the like, or zirconia, as the support. In particular, it is desirable that a number-of-atom ratio of Co/Zr can be 1/3 or more and 3/1 or less.
