Vadium, After installing XS62ESP1028 via CLI (no reboot on hosts yet) and building an Centos65 instance w/o ‘Dynamic Scalable’ option checked, it showed right in XenCenter. I installed the new tools from (XS62ESP1028) and still good. I created a template from this instance. Deployed said template, and the memory is still good in XenCenter.
I tested on a Windows VM and it is the same with the new tools, however, as this particular tenant bypasses the virtual router, I have to reboot twice and reset networking as the new XenTools reset the networking stack.
