I need to update an older Solaris that is the primary/control domain for

Using the following pca syntax I get 11 patches to install kernel patch
141444 (in the end I will use Live Upgrade)
/var/tmp/pca --list 141444 --xrefdir="/var/tmp/pcatmp"
--patchdir="/var/tmp/pcatmp"

My questions are:
1. Will pca pickup all the patches needed to support kernel patch
141444? (I think I'm asking if I can trust the dependence list for 141444.)
2. Is it a bad idea to pick just a kernel patch out of the set of
missingrs? (The missingrs set includes 111 patches.)
3. Any general advice for patching a running production primary/control
domain.
Thanks for any insight,

I think installing all of missingr and or missingrs is the way to go, as
this is what is most tested by Sun and end users.
If you only do the kernel patch then you may be missing other important
fixes that may or may not impact the kernel patch, There's really no way
to know.
