Maria Zlatkova 6e6f31745c Adds commands to Create initial rings section
The setup creates only 1 zone, despite the fact that there
 are 3 disks. This is not a good practice.
Each disk should be its own zone instead.

Based on the described example, added command
 variations to account ring, container ring, and object ring
 sections.

<title>Create initial rings</title>
<para>Before starting the Object Storage services, you must create
the initial account, container, and object rings. The ring builder
creates configuration files that each node uses to determine and
deploy the storage architecture. For simplicity, this guide uses one
region and zone with 2^10 (1024) maximum partitions, 3 replicas of each
object, and 1 hour minimum time between moving a partition more than
once. For Object Storage, a partition indicates a directory on a storage
device rather than a conventional partition table. For more information,
see the
