A failover that occurs automatically on the loss of the primary replica. Automatic failover is supported only when the current primary and one secondary replica are both configured with failover mode set to AUTOMATIC and the secondary replica currently synchronized. If the failover mode of either the primary or secondary replica is MANUAL, automatic failover cannot occur.

Planned manual failover (without data loss)
59-
Planned manual failover, or *manual failover*, is a failover that is initiated by a database administrator, typically, for administrative purposes. A planned manual failover is supported only if both the primary replica and secondary replica are configured for synchronous-commit mode and the secondary replica is currently synchronized (in the SYNCHRONIZED state). When the target secondary replica is synchronized, manual failover (without data loss) is possible even if the primary replica has crashed because the secondary databases are ready for failover. A database administrator manually initiates a manual failover.

Forced failover (with possible data loss)
6262
A failover that can be initiated by a database administrator when no secondary replica is SYNCHRONIZED with the primary replica or the primary replica is not running and no secondary replica is failover ready. Forced failover risks possible data loss and is recommended strictly for disaster recovery. Forced failover is also known as forced manual failover because it can only be initiated manually. This is the only form of failover supported by in asynchronous-commit availability mode.
