Getting this error  
An exception was thrown during the upload-dar command

- GRPCIOTimeout  
One reason for this to occur is if the size of DAR file being uploaded exceeds the gRPC maximum message size. The default value for this is 4Mb, but it may be increased when the ledger is (re)started. Please check with your ledger operator.  
always after uploading the dar on a ledger (particpant)  
that is running as a pod in minikube cluster and upload fails mostly dar size is 5 to 5.3 mb

daml ledger upload-dar --host=127.0.0.1 --port=4001 /Users/zinnia\_india/Documents/qa\_deployment/deleting\_daml\_backup/SOR-DAML/.packages/init/.daml/dist/sor-mvp-init-1.2.22.dar

In some article in daml forum it is said  
You don’t need to pass `--address` unless you are running `daml start` on a different machine than the one running the `daml ledger fetch-dar` command. In this context, VMs and Docker containers count as separate machines from each other and the host, physical machine.

so it means pod and host count as different machines
