Reducing size of Virus defination for a single host in SEPM 11.x

In the console, click Admin.
Click Servers and select the site that you want to configure.
Under Tasks, click Edit Site Properties, and then click LiveUpdate.
Under Disk Space Management for Downloads, type the number of content downloads that you want to store.
If you want to reduce the amount of disk space used, uncheck the Store client packages unzipped to provide better network performance for upgrades option. Note: Disabling this option also disables the ability of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to construct deltas between content revisions and may adversely affect network performance for updates.
Click OK.

Agree with Mithun. You can the SEPM 11.x to 12.1 to reduce the size/limit of defintion

Hi vonphenyl,

One important note: if you reduce the number of revisions that the SEPM keeps, you may save Hard Drive space on that server, but you will have larger packages downloaded by the SEP clients (higher network bandwidth consumption). The more past revisions your SEPM has, the greater number of small "direct delta" definition updates it can build and send to clients.

This white paper has some good info:

You can control the number of content revisions that the Symantec Endpoint Protection client stores for each content type. Each content type can be configured individually.
Start > Run > regedit > navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SYMANTEC\Symantec Endpoint Protection\Content\ > Open folder with the intended content moniker name > & then depending on version do the following:
A. In Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and MR1, adjust the "CachedEntries" DWORD value to the # of cache content revisions to keep.

B. In Symantec Endpoint Protection MR2 and newer, adjust the "CachedEntriesEx" DWORD value to the # of cache content revisions to keep.
