I’ve come across a few NetApp Verified Architectures in
my time and thought they were pretty cool (similarly fabulous to Flexpod
Design Guides.) But I’ve never seen a list of NVAs, and knowing that they
are usually PDFs on https://www.netapp.com/us/media/ with the name nva-XXXX, or
nva-XXXX-design, or nva-XXXX-deploy, I thought I’d try prospecting for them,
using similar code to my NetApp
Technical Report (TR) PowerShell Collector Script.
Full list of
the NVAs discovered:

The Script Used
to Prospect for NVAs:
[String]$DownloadFolder
= "C:\NVAs\"
[String]$LogFilePath
= "C:\NVAs\log.txt"
[Int]$RangeStart
= 1000
[Int]$RangeEnd = 1200
[System.Array]$Title
= "","","",""
##
Generic display function:
Function
Wr{Param($P,$I="WHITE");Write-Host $P -ForegroundColor $I}
##
Download the NVAs:
Import-Module
BitsTransfer
For($i=$RangeStart;
$i -le $RangeEnd; $i++){
[String]$Title[1] = "nva-$i"
[String]$Title[2] = "nva-$i-deploy"
[String]$Title[3] = "nva-$i-design"
For($t = 1;$t -le 3;$t++){
[String]$WebUrl =
("https://www.netapp.com/us/media/" + $Title[$t] + ".pdf")
[String]$SavePath = ($DownloadFolder +
$Title[$t] + ".pdf")
## Get the header:
$hdr = $NULL
Try{$hdr = Invoke-WebRequest $WebUrl
-Method Head}
Catch{"Dead link: $WebUrl" |
Out-File $LogFilePath -Append}
## If we have a header:
If($hdr){
## Only download updated versions:
$Download = $FALSE
If(Test-Path $SavePath){
$SavedLRT = [DateTime]((Get-ChildItem $SavePath).LastWriteTime)
$WebFileLRT =
[DateTime]($hdr.headers."last-modified")
If($WebFileLRT.Ticks -gt
$SavedLRT.Ticks){
[String]$OutputString =
("UPDATED: " + $Title[$t])
$OutputString | Out-File $LogFilePath
-Append
Wr $OutputString GREEN
$Download = $TRUE
}else{
[String]$OutputString = ("NO
UPDATE: " + $Title[$t])
Wr $OutputString
}
}else{
[String]$OutputString = ("NEW
D/LOAD: " + $Title[$t])
$OutputString | Out-File $LogFilePath
-Append
Wr $OutputString GREEN
$Download = $TRUE
}
## Download:
If($Download){
Start-BitsTransfer -Source $WebUrl
-Destination $SavePath
}
}else{
Wr "DEAD LINK : $WebUrl"
}
}
}
