Error initializing the network channel from node sdk in hyperledger fabric

Question

Background: I have modified the first-network files (to a network with 2 Orgs and 1 peer in each of them) and installed my own chaincode on it. Additionally I have made a connection.yaml file to interact with the network.

Problem: But when I try to get the network channel & establish the gateway from nodeSDK, I encounter this error:

error: [Network]: _initializeInternalChannel: Unable to initialize channel. Attempted to contact 2 Peers. Last error was Error: 2 UNKNOWN: Stream removed

Failed to evaluate transaction: Error: Unable to initialize channel. Attempted to contact 2 Peers. Last error was Error: 2 UNKNOWN: Stream removed

Below you can find the code on my client side. The error probably arises when gateway.getNetwork('mychannel') is executed.

let connectionProfile = yaml.safeLoad(fs.readFileSync('./connection.yaml', 'utf8'));
// Create a new gateway for connecting to our peer node.
const gateway = new Gateway();
await gateway.connect(connectionProfile, { wallet, identity: 'user1', discovery: { enabled: false } });
// Get the network (channel) our contract is deployed to.
const network = await gateway.getNetwork('mychannel');
// Get the contract from the network.

const contract = network.getContract('bankpeerContract');
var result = await contract.evaluateTransaction('queryAllStamps');

This is my connection.yaml file:

x-type: "hlfv1"

I have been unable to figure out whether there is some problem with connection.yaml file or there is something wrong within the network.

BYFN/EFYN enable TLS on all of the Fabric nodes (peers, orderers, certificate authorities) to secure communications. Your connection profile has "grpc://" and "http://" URLs - these should be changed to "grpcs://" and "https://". It looks like the TLS CA certificates are correct.
