It didn't fail. The test was full duration meaning it lasted for the specified amount of time. That was the main thing. Testing the rocket and the OLM during startup.
Having issues with two engines will be investigated but it's unlikely they will do another static fire. They will either green light both engines or replace one or both and then move on to the launch.
It's estimated Starship can lose up to 7 engines total and around 3-5 on launch and still make it to orbit. Musk tweeted that had this been a launch it would have made it to orbit.
