Jeeze, it's not all that bad. Just apply the most current patches for your os
SPARC Platform
* Solaris 8 - 109809 - 108993
* Solaris 9 - 113225 - 112874
* Solaris 10 - 122032 - 119689
x86 Platform
* Solaris 8 - 109810 - 108994
* Solaris 9 - 116545 - 114432
* Solaris 10 - 122033 - 121208
That'll take care of everything except the Bahamas. Keep an eye on the page and when they update the first column, the Bahamas will be correct.
It's not Sun's fault Australia, Canada, the US and the Bahamas are doing some time zone dance.
Australia's changing theirs for a week because of an event
Canada's bringing their timezones in line with the US, just one more step to becoming the United States of North America
The US's energy policy (*hah*) to change the hours.
The Bahama's also coming into line with the US.
The problem is the changes complicate the time zone file even more since the time routines have to return correct values for this time range or even the one week the Australians kicked.
I have AIX, Red Hat, SuSE, and HP-UX boxes to take into account and the poor guy admining SunOS 2.6 and 7 will need to manually change the times four times a year until the customer decides it's time to upgrade the servers.

ibtl
ibtl(7D) Devices ibtl(7D) NAME
ibtl - Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer DESCRIPTION
InfiniBand (IB) is an I/O technology based on switched fabrics. The Solaris InfiniBand Transport Layer (IBTL) is a Solaris kernel misc mod- ule and adheres to the IB Architecture Version 1.1 specification and provides a transport layer abstraction to IB client drivers. IBTL implements the programming interfaces for the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework (IBTF), consisting of the IB Channel Interface (CI) and the IB Transport Interface (TI). The CI consists of Host Channel Adapters (HCAs) and HCA drivers. A host is attached to the IB fabric through the CI layer. The Solaris InfiniBand CI is Sun's API rendering of the InfiniBand Architecture (IBTA) "verbs" specification. The Solaris InfiniBand TI is the kernel service driver interface into the Solaris InfiniBand Transport Framework. It provides transport and communications setup programming interfaces for Unreliable Datagram (UD) and Reliable Connected (RC) transport types only. FILES
