Is this fixed in 4.5.1 as the issue is not listed in the release notes under CS-27425/CS-21217?
As a FYI, on the one VM the new tools worked but not on any others. I had to set ‘enable.dynamic.scale.vm’ to false, restart management service. Then I have to shutdown the instance. then start, to get the right memory. A reboot doesn’t fix it.
