Yes, you can restore from a sequential stg to a primary random disk pool.
I had to do this last summer.  It allowed me to use the three tape drives
(maxprocess=3) in the 3575 to disk and then migrate to new media.

First I have a couple questions.

Has anyone ever done this?
Can the RESTORE STGPOOL command restore to a PRIMARY RANDOM DISK POOL?

The reason I want to do this is we believe we can restore many servers
simultatneously by doing this.  The DR Vendor does not have enough SAN tape
to meet our business requirement, but this type of architecture with about
4
gigabit connections to the clients might do the job.  They appear to be
able
to do this.
