Author of the post here :)

Use the following command to create another ring:

swift-ring-builder /etc/swift/object-1.builder create 15 3 1

Storage Policies are addressed by an index number (see the blog post,
for example storage-policy:0), and these are related to the ring files:

storage-policy:0 -> /etc/swift/object-0.ring.gz

storage-policy:1 -> /etc/swift/object-1.ring.gz

and so on.

Policy 0 is the default one, and if there is no ring file named
"/etc/swift/object-0.ring.gz" Swift tries to use
"/etc/swift/object.ring.gz".

Let me know if this helps!
