Is it by design that 4 LIF IPs are assigned when creating SVM on CVO-HA of GCP?

Yes, 2 iSCSI LIFs and 2 NAS LIFs are assigned to each of the two HA nodes.

Example output from test environment:

gcpcvoha::> net interface show

(network interface show)

Logical Status Network Current Current Is

Vserver Interface Admin/Oper Address/Mask Node Port Home
