SCVMM 2012 SP1 – Bare Metal Build Error 803d0008 A quota was exceeded

During a VMM bare-metal build error 803d0008 was showing up on the host console. The error occurred when the Host was attempting to send the discovered data back to the VMM server.

The logs showed the following:

 

Right at the bottom the error that stood out was “The numbers of bytes written exceeded the specified quota of 65536 bytes)

It looked as if there was perhaps to much information discovered and VMM was not able to deal with additional data over the 65536 byte limit.

This was a rebuild of an existing host, I had recently performed bare-metal builds successfully the day before.

The host happened to have a large number of LUNs presented to it from the SAN (23 to be exact).

The solution for me was to un-present the LUNs.
