Exception to the storage unit selection criteria

The only exception to the storage unit selection criteria order is in the case of a client that is also a media server with locally connected storage units. The locally available storage units take precedence over the defined sequence of storage units in the group.

You may have set up a storage unit to be On demand only. If the unit is in a storage unit group that a policy requires, the On demand only option is satisfied and the device is used.

See Storage unit selection criteria within a group.
