(Optional) Similarly, you can add multiple IVX Cloud API authentication keys to your virtual File Protect appliance. Only one key can be configured as Active at any given time and other keys will be on standby. Files submitted to IVX Cloud are accounted to the quota corresponding to the active key.
Adding multiple DOD API authentication keys provides flexibility to submit files to IVX Cloud accounting for the quota corresponding to any one of those API keys that is active at any given time. To know more about API key management, see the API Key Management section.
Note
You can add the same API authentication key to multiple virtual File Protect appliances. In this case, the files from all the virtual File Protect appliances are accounted to the quota corresponding to the API key.
