ok, found the -a switch for the check_NRPE command on the host.  so I 
run the following:

check_nrpe -H $hostaddress$ -p 5666 -t 60 -c check_openmanage -a --only 
storage

the result is the same as before, more complaints about missing probes 
etc...

in the debug window of NSClient++ however the check_openmange is 
injected as such


d NSClient++.cpp(1106) Injecting: check_openmanage: --only, storage

d NSClient++.cpp(1142) Injected Result: WARNING 'Problem running 
'omreport chass
is fans': Error! No fan probes found on this system.<br/>Problem running 
'omrepo
rt chassis temps': Error! No temperature probes found on this 
system.<br/>Proble
m running 'omreport chassis volts': Error! No voltage probes found on 
this syste
m.'

it seems a bit odd that the comma appears between "--only" and "storage" 
which may be causing check_openmanage to ignore the option switches I 
imagine.

I also tried:

check_nrpe -H $hostaddress$ -p 5666 -t 60 -c check_openmanage -a "--only 
storage"

which, while eliminating the comma between the "--only" and "storage" 
still produced the same error..

so... one step forward, two steps back...
