Ubuntu – pvcreate: device /dev/sdXX not found (or ignored by filtering)

I'm unable to add a new volume (provisioned by a SAN storage) as a PhysicalVolume for the host's LVM volume. Here is the error message:

#sudo pvcreate /dev/sdc1 -v
  Device /dev/sdc1 not found (or ignored by filtering).

OS: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.16.0-30-generic x86_64)

fdisk:

#sudo fdisk /dev/sdc -l

What I've tried so far:

• fdisk /dev/sdc n, p, 1, ENTER 2 times, t, 8e, w
• (parted) mklabel msdos
• (parted) mklabel gpt
• (parted) mklabel loop
• zero filled the first sector of /dev/sdc
• zero filled /dev/sdc
• partprobe
• partprobe /dev/sdc
• reboot
