We built proxmox on Cisco UCS Blades and NetApp Storage. When you attach SAN LUN over Fibre Channel Proxmox will see the LUN and it's capacity. However, when you try to build a VM or container Proxmox shows 0 available storage to build onto. The issue is, Proxmox adds a global filter to the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file and when you create a LUN and attach it to Proxmox it then creates a preferred_names filter under a different block.
The fix is to edit the /etc/lvm/lvm.conf file under the devices { } section at the end.

This is what it needs to look like:
Just thought I would post this for anyone looking for help and to maybe see if proxmox devs can fix this in an update.

Bash:

devices {

filter = [ "a|/dev/mapper/.*|", "r|/dev/sd.*|" ]

Bash:
devices {
# added by pve-manager to avoid scanning ZFS zvols and Ceph rbds
global_filter = [ "r|/dev/zd.*|", "r|/dev/rbd.*|" ]
preferred_names = [ "^/dev/mapper/", "^/dev/sd" ]
