softlayer local Load Balancer manage API

Question

after customer order local load balancer in softlayer control, customer act a few action for management (Add Group, Add Service, Cancel Load balancer) and then save configuration in control.

i can get detail infomation of load balancer using VirtualIpAddress getObject(id) method but i don't know how to update(save) my changed configuraitons using API?

i was attached screen shot of softlayer control's which api is available for management of Load balancer?

Local Load Balancer Detail of control
