Disc.

You can't convert a single node directly to a ram node, since that's 
unlikely to be what most people want - shut down the node and you've 
lost everything. You could probably do this by creating a cluster with 
one disc and one ram node, then removing the disc node.

Yes, you can connect to any node in the cluster.
