How is the disk /dev/sdc used on the source side? It's labelled as Linux LVM so I'm guessing it is allocated to a volume group, which may then be one or more logical volumes formatted as filesystems or just raw space.
You target system needs to know what to do with it, but without destroying the content.
I don't have a test server I could play with like this, so I'm guessing a bit but somehow you need to build a volume group to include this disk without it rewriting the first few blocks else you would lose the LVMs it contains. Perhaps vgimport will help you here, but I've not used it before.
I hope that this helps,
Robin

NAME
vgdisplay - display attributes of volume groups
SYNOPSIS
vgdisplay [-A|--activevolumegroups] [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-D|--disk] [-h|--help] [-s|--short] [-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] [--ver-
sion] [VolumeGroupName...]

vgdisplay allows you to see the attributes of VolumeGroupName (or all volume groups if none is given) with it's physical and logical vol-
umes and their sizes etc.
OPTIONS
-A, --activevolumegroups
Only select the active volume groups.
-c, --colon
Generate colon seperated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
The values are:
1 volume group name
2 volume group access
3 volume group status
4 internal volume group number
5 maximum number of logical volumes
6 current number of logical volumes
7 open count of all logical volumes in this volume group
8 maximum logical volume size
9 maximum number of physical volumes
10 current number of physical volumes
11 actual number of physical volumes
12 size of volume group in kilobytes
13 physical extent size
14 total number of physical extents for this volume group
15 allocated number of physical extents for this volume group
16 free number of physical extents for this volume group
17 uuid of volume group
-d, --debug

Give a short listing showing the existence of volume groups.
-v, --verbose
Display verbose information containing long listings of physical and logical volumes. If given twice, also display verbose runtime
