Remotely Convert from layer 2 image ("SPS") to layer 3 image ("SPR")

[michael_fisher_]

I have an ICX 7150-24P-4X1G switch that is running the layer 2 image ("SPS") that is remote. I do not have access to the console, or other out of band management options. I'd like to convert that switch to the layer 3 image ("SPR"). Is there a way to do this conversion remotely?

My concern is how the device's IP address is assigned. The switch is addressed with the layer 2 image. The virtual port is addressed with the layer 3 image. The device would be able to convert the switch level IP to a virtual port IP; thus, I would not be able to re-connect after the first boot into layer 3 image.
