vswitch question
I have a 5.5 vsphere host which has no more space, however, I need to run a new vm within the same vswitch configuration from that host, is there possible to run a vm on a different host but tell it somehow to run under the same vswitch of another host?

It might be a bit overkill for what you want to do, but also you need to be licensed for it as well. If you are not using Distributed Switchs, it's usual practice, to ensure you have the SAME identical networking per Host, with the same Labels and Networking.
But as for resources, storage, CPU, memory and nics are per Host, and your VM can only use the resources of the host, which is hosting the VM.

You are right, it is an overkill.
