Duncan Grisby explains:
"
Unfortunately, IP address information for LoadBalancerServices cannot be synchronized into the CMDB. The BMC_IPEndpoint CI has to be related with a BMC_HostedAccessPoint relationship to a subclass of BMC_System. The LoadBalancerService is mapped to a BMC_LogicalSystemComponent, which is not a subclass of BMC_System.
The name attribute contains the configured name of the service. You could choose to populate Name, ShortDescription or Description of the BMC_LogicalSystemComponent CI with the IP address and port instead, but there is unfortunately no good place to put the information separately.
"
One way around the limitation is to use a BMC_Dependency relationship instead of BMC_LogicalSystemComponent relationship.
If you want these IP's in your CMDB, and are willing to accept BMC_Dependency as the relationship between your LoadBalancerService (BMC_LogicalSystemComponent) and the BMC_IPEndpoint, then try this Sample pattern, attached.
NOTE ABOUT USING THIS SAMPLE SYNCMAPPING:
If you use this mechanism (using BMC_Dependency relationships), the BMC_IPEndpoint CIs are considered "orphans" in the CMDB and show up in reports of orphaned CIs.
If you choose the "exclude orphaned CIs" option in reconciliation, they will be skipped during reconciliation.
Compatibility:
Compatible with Discovery 11.3.
Tested with Discovery 11.3.
How to change for other versions:
To be compatible with other versions, the "import" statement version may need to be revised to be consistent with the base syncmapping versions:
from CMDB.LoadBalancerInstance import LoadBalancerInstance 2.3;
from CMDB.NetworkDevice_ComputerSystem import NetworkDevice_ComputerSystem 2.1;
Base Pattern:
module: CMDB.LoadBalancerInstance
file: LoadBalancerInstance.tpl
Custom Pattern:
// Community-shared pattern
//
tpl 1.12 module CMDB.LoadBalancer_Instance_extend;
metadata
origin := "Customer";
tree_path := "Custom", "CMDB Sync", "LoadBalancerInstance_augment_IPs";

Below is the BMC_LogicalSystemComponent which represents a Load Balancer Service:
