Yes it does. We used to run it on clusters of 2TB RAM nodes, before we changed our DB architecture.

is there any best practice or guideline for this huge memory? or vm handles it transparent without any specific configuration same as 4gb ram?

i mean one node, not cluster

The Erlang VM should work without any special configuration. You probably don’t want 1+ TB core dumps or Erlang crash dumps, so you should limit those sizes.
