A company is using the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) on all volume groups.

FIPS Compliance: The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) requires all components within a system to adhere to specific security standards.

FDE Drives: Full Disk Encryption (FDE) drives are used to ensure data security.

Audit Failure: Adding an FDE drive as a spare to a volume group without proper encryption settings could cause a security audit to fail.

Solution: Ensure all spare drives in a volume group meet the FIPS encryption requirements.
