-> The failover wizard started executing and was taking much time,
-> Below was the Availability group state,
-> It failed after some time with below message,
Manual Failover failed (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.HadrTasks)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Failed to perform a manual failover of the availability group ‘JBSAG’ to server instance ‘JBSAG2’. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.HadrModel)

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Failed to bring availability group ‘JBSAG’ online. The operation timed out. If this is a Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) availability group, verify that the local WSFC node is online. Then verify that the availability group resource exists in the WSFC cluster. If the problem persists, you might need to drop the availability group and create it again.

The state changed because of a user initiated failover. For more information, see the SQL Server error log or cluster log.

-> This will affect automatic failover also incase primary replica goes down.
-> Checked if NT Authority\System is created and has appropriate permission.
-> It seems like NT Authority\System was removed from SQL Server Instance.
-> Recreated NT Authority\System on SQL Server instance and provide required permission.
USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master]
GO
GRANT ALTER ANY AVAILABILITY GROUP TO [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM]
GO
GRANT CONNECT SQL TO [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM]
GO
GRANT VIEW SERVER STATE TO [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM]
GO -> I tried the failover again after creating NT Authority\System and it worked fine,
Thank You,
