All storage units are configured with On Demand Only and are not eligible for jobs requesting ANY storage unit (2111)
Cause
The cause of this issue is that , all the storage unit is selected to run as on-demand only and in the policy attribute the storage unit selected is ANY_AVAILABLE
Reference Snippet for a storage unit with on-demand only (Marked in yellow)
In the Policy Attributes, Policy storage is selected to ANY_available as per below snip
Solution
1. Either uncheck the On demand only option in storage properties
2. The second work around if we don't want to uncheck the on demand option, select a specific storage unit and it should not be Any_available
3. After doing the changes , run the backup to complete it successfully
